STEAM AND HOT-WATER RADIATOR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

flatcntcd Sept. 2,1913.

Application filed November 16, 1912. Serial No. 731,900.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Cnanmcs E. Dream- SON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Garden City, in the county of l inuey and State of Kansas, have invented a new and useful Steam and Hotater lladiator, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to improvements in radiators, the ]')I'lII12II' obj cct of the invention being the provision of a radiator constructed and arranged to be placed in a partition between two rooms so that the heat radiated therefrom will be properly distributed to both rooms, said radiator being provided with a web longitudinally thereof to form a division wall at the recessed portion of the partition and consequently a partition between the rooms.

A further object of the present invention is the provision of a radiator having a vertically disposed longitudinal partition or web which divides the coils into two radiating compartments for independent distribution of heat, the same when used in conjunction with a recess in a partition between two rooms co-acting with exterior partitions or deflectors which form therewith a division or partition adjacent to the radiator and between the rooms.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings-Figure 1 is a perspective view of a radiator constructed according to the present invention and positioned as in use. Fig. 2 is a section taken on line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 8 is a section taken on line 33 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4: is a section taken on line &- i of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a transverse cross section through a single coil showing a modified form of heat control mechanism. Figs. 6 and 7 are detailed sectional views of a modified form of radiator coil.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates a recessed portion in a partition between two rooms and in which is disposed the radiator 2 which may be either a hot water or steam radiator.

Formed centrally and longitudinally of the ends of the radiator are the recessed ribs 3 which have titted thercin the inner ends of the combined heat deflecting and partition forming plates -l. the upper edge of the radiattn' being provided with the recessed ribs 5 in which are fitted the upper combined heat deflecting and partition forming plates 6. Each coil 7 of the radiator has formed integral therewithin a vertical web 8 which divides the coil into the respective compartments (4 and Z). Each of the intermediate coils is provided with a vertical web S), which when the coils are connected together to form the radiator, seats within the vertical recess 10 of the adjacent coil, as clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 5.

Projecting below the respective coils and forming a support for the radiator is the web 11 which has disposed upon opposite sides thereof and connected to the partition, the combined heat deflecting and partition. forming plates 12. Thus it will be seen that the curved plates 4-, (i and 12 with the webs 9, provide a divisional wall in the recessed portion and consequently between the rooms.

It is desi able that the flow of the heating medium to the coils on each side of the webs S and 9 be controlled, each coil in reality being a double heating member, and in order to accomplish this, the conduits 13 and l t are led from the respective chambers a and b and as shown in I? 2 are connected between the plates i t to a supply pipe 16 with the valves 15 interposed and controlled by the respective handles 17-17, one upon each side of the partition.

In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the conduits 13 and 1a are each provided with a single control valve 17 which are accessible one upon each side of the partition.

In the form of coil shown in Figs. 6 and 7, what is termed loop-coils are formed with the two chambers ISL-19, a partition or web 21 being carried by each coil and between said chambers, a recessed portion 20 being provided for the reception of the adjacent edge of the web 21 of the adjacent coil. In this form, the partition plates 1 are connected as shown in Fig. 7.

From the foregoing description, it is evident that with a radiator constructed according to the present invention that great economy in space will result in its use as the radiator may be disposed within a partition wall and a single radiator furnish the heat for two rooms, each chamber of the radiator being controlled by independent valves so that the heat for its respective room may be regulated.

By the employmentof the webs 8 and 9, which divide the radiator into two chambers, it is evident that these webs will to a certain extent act also as heat conductors so that the heat from one chamber may sufiiciently heat both rooms in moderate weather.

lVhat is claimed is: i

1. A radiator composed of a plurality of detachable coils, each coil of which is divided vertically into two independent chambers, and has a vertical web formed upon one side exteriorly thereof for coacting with an adjacent coil to close the space between adjacent coils and with a vertical groove upon the opposite side to the vertical web for the reception of the vertical web of an adjacent coil.

2. The combination with a partition between two rooms and having a recessed portion for the reception of a radiator, of a radiator disposed therein and divided into two longitudinal independent heating cham bers, two curved plates connected to each' of the top, bottom and ends of the ra diator and the adjacent portions of the partition, the line of connection of the plates to the radiator being in line with the division of:

the radiator.

In testimony that as my own, I have hereto affiXed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
